This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive. 
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment, 
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT, 
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).





Bob Kimbell and Jack Logan first met while participating in the fertile but under-
appreciated music scene that gripped Champaign-Urbana Illinois like a drowsy psych 
ward patient in the mid-80s. One night while observing Logan bellowing away during 
a performance of the unusual but ultimately not-so-seminal band The Anglers, Kimbell 
thought to himself, "this guy sings like Bing Crosby with a severe concussion, but 
he writes some fairly gear words".

Either sometime later than or prior to this cataclysmic moment, Logan had stood 
watching a performance by Kimbell's band of heart-on-the-sleeve pop experts Weird Summer. 
Logan thought to himself "this guy wears his hair too long and his shirts too loud, but 
he writes some of the damnedest music currently available!" These two events set the stage 
for things to come, and when they bumped into each other in the toilet at a Replacements 
show later that year, they vowed to get together and attempt to write some songs…

An activity that continues right up to this very day! Up until now the remarkable duo had 
officially released 1998's 'Little Private Angel' (Parasol), a recording they used as a 
reason to tour the country as well as the seedier parts of Europe. Now comes 'Woodshedding' 
the much anticipated follow up to 'Little Private Angel'. Despite releasing a slew of records 
under his own name in Jack's case (1985's 'Bulk' was the breakout novelty smash of the year) 
and the enduring Weird Summer moniker in Bob's case, nothing quite compares to the material 
created by the combined talents of this loveable, music-making odd couple.


PRESS for their debut collaboration, 1998's 'Little Private Angel':

ROLLING STONE: 
"A sly beauty in which the Brian Wilson-like glow of Kimbell's melodies, the parlor-room 
production and Logan's Southern Gothic, thumbnail blues suggest the Beach Boys cutting 
their Party! album with William Faulkner on the brain and the liquor running low."

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: 
An album-length collaboration between Jack Logan and Weird Summer frontman Bob Kimbell, 
'Little Private Angel' heralds a creative breakthrough for both participants, with each 
seemingly inspiring the other on to new musical heights. The joint venture proves so ideal 
because it plays to the strengths of both, with Kimbell contributing the tunes and Logan 
adding the lead vocals and lyrics; the latter's boozy croon and somber lyrics have never 
before been couched in such fully fleshed pop melodies, while the former's songs have never 
supported the kind of vocal and verbal gravity that are Logan's stock in trade. Even the 
right emotional balance is struck, navigating deftly between the lighthearted ("Frozen Rope" 
is an evocative baseball narrative, while a musical quote from "Leader of the Pack" 
distinguishes the title track) and the downcast (the pathos of the opening "Four Men in a Car" 
cuts with vivid intensity, and the desperation of "Nerves of Steel" is similarly palpable); 
equally noteworthy are Logan and Kimbell's harmonies, which make even the record's grittiest 
moments easy to swallow. Here's hoping their paths cross again soon.

Parasol:
After two critically acclaimed but publicly overlooked albums on Medium Cool Records, Jack Logan 
resurfaces on a new label with a collaboration with Bob Kimbell, leader of the band Weird Summer. 
This album has a more mellow vibe than Logan's earlier work, but it's still a strong outing. In 
fact, a few songs on the album, like "Frozen Rope" and "Nerves Of Steel" have the two seeming like 
a rockier, more contemporary Simon and Garfunkel. That, by the way, IS meant as a compliment. The 
beautiful acoustic-based music is a bed for the unusually intelligent and poignant lyrics. I wish 
that Logan and Kimbell explored their rockier side a little more, like they do on "Fire On The Boat", 
but that is a small quibble with an overall terrific album.   

Trocadero:
14 Songs dauert die erste Zusammenarbeit Logan’s und Weird Summer’s Chef Bob Kimbell. 
Unglaublich laid-back und rundherum gelungenes Alt. Country Werk das in seinen Songwriter-
momenten an der Klasse eines Bob Dylan kratzt. 

Audio:
„Er kredenzt filigrane, stimmungsvolle Melodien, akustische Roadmovies (wundervoll: "Four Men 
In A Car") und Geschichten aus dem Leben, die Partner Bob Kimbell kongenial instrumentiert. 
Wenn es denn Gerechtigkeit gibt, so muß dieses Album Logan den Durchbruch bringen.“ (Audio)





About this concert:

The booking agency came up with another Hazeldine tour in autum 1998 to promote
their album 'Digging You Up', the planned lineup was:

HAZELDINE & Todd McBride with JACK LOGAN/BOB KIMBELL

It turned out that Todd (ex-Dashboard Saviors) was not able to join this caravan.
So Unni and her partner in crime took his place. Knowing Todd quite good (he was my 
guest and i promoted some of his shows) i have to confess that Unni was not only a
substitute. From a male's point of view...but that's a different story.

Jack Logan and Bob Kimbell came as second opening act, together with their guitarist 
Kevin Lane. They promoted their 'Little Private Angel'-album during this tour, so all
the songs played are from this collaboration-CD, with some coversongs. Their duets are 
simply stunning, and when Kevin joins in...goosebumps guaranteed...and a heavy deja-vu,
especially when grown up with the music of Crosy, Stills and Nash etc... They started 
acoustically, and the second half of their show was with a little help from Hazeldine.

On later dates of this tour Unni joined Jack and Bob, and sometimes also all bandmembers
of Hazeldine. During Hazeldine's show Jack and Bob entered the stage, and i remember 
minimum one concert with all 10 musicians onstage during Hazeldine's encores...
